New roofs and full re-roofs in Swaffham
Swaffham sits about 16 miles from King's Lynn, reached off the A47, and that position shapes the roof replacement & new roofs we do here. Most of our the PE37 postcode district jobs involve Georgian market-town roofs and farm buildings, so we plan access, scaffold and materials around that before quoting.

Common roof problems around Swaffham
Georgian market-town roofs and surrounding farm buildings.
Gutter and fascia neglect
Overflowing gutters soak the wall head and rot the fascia on Georgian market-town roofs, which ends up costing more than clearing them in Swaffham would have.
Slipped and cracked tiles
Most Swaffham call-outs start with a handful of slipped tiles that let water onto the felt below.
Domestic and commercial in one visit
Homes and small commercial premises in Swaffham are quoted on the same terms, inspection first and written specification second.
Perished underfelt
Once the sarking felt under the tiles has torn or gone brittle, anything getting past a tile runs straight into the loft, and that is the point at which re-covering a Swaffham roof beats another patch.

Roof Replacement & New Roofs FAQs
- How do we know the roof needs replacing rather than repairing?
- The test is the felt and battens, not the tiles. Once the underfelt has perished, water that gets past a tile has nothing to stop it. We'll show you the state of it at the inspection and say plainly which side of the line your roof is on.
- Will you need scaffold on a Swaffham property?
- For a full re-cover, yes, it's a working platform and an edge protection requirement, not an upsell. Scaffold is included and set out in the written quote.
- What happens if you find rotten timbers?
- We stop, photograph it and price the repair before covering it up. It's the one part of a re-roof that can't be fully quoted in advance, so we tell you the rate for it up front.
- How soon can someone look at a leak in Swaffham (PE37)?
- Call 07437 005301 and an inspection in Swaffham is arranged from there. A 24/7 emergency call-out is advertised for active leaks and storm damage, and you'll be told on the phone what is realistic for Swaffham rather than given a fixed promise.
- What does a roof replacement & new roofs quote in Swaffham cost?
- Nothing, the inspection and the written quotation in Swaffham are both free, and the job price then follows the covering, the size of the roof, the access at that particular Swaffham address and whatever turns up underneath, which is why nothing is priced down the phone.
